Cellceutix
Corporation
(A
Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to
Financial Statements
March
31, 2008
(Unaudited)
1. Background
Information
EconoShare,
Inc. was incorporated on August 1, 2005 in the State of Nevada and was organized
for the purpose of developing a B2B (Business to Business) website for an Asset
Sharing market place and transaction system.
On
December 6, 2007, EconoShare, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired Cellceutix Pharma,
Inc., a privately owned Delaware corporation (“Cellceutix Pharma”), pursuant to
an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “Exchange”), with Cellceutix
Pharma becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of EconoShare,
Inc. Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the
State of Delaware on June 20, 2007. Its assets consisted of rights
assigned to it for six early stage pharmaceutical compounds by three different
scientists. Upon consummation of the Exchange, EconoShare adopted the business
plan of Cellceutix Pharma, Inc.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Exchange, EconoShare, Inc. acquired Cellceutix Pharma, Inc.
in exchange for an aggregate of 82,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), resulting in an
aggregate of 91,791,000 shares (the “Exchange of Shares”) of EconoShare, Inc.
Common Stock issued and outstanding. As a result of the Exchange, Cellceutix
Pharma, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EconoShare, Inc. The
Exchange Shares were issued to the Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. shareholders on a pro
rata basis, on the basis of 82 shares of Common Stock for each share of
Cellceutix Pharma common stock held by such Cellceutix Pharma shareholder at the
time of the Exchange.
The
former holders of Cellceutix Pharma Common Stock now beneficially own
approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Accordingly,
the Exchange represented a change in control. As of the date of this report,
there are 91,891,000 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding. For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was a
reverse acquisition of EconoShare, Inc. by Cellceutix Pharma, Inc., under the
purchase method of accounting, and was accounted for as a recapitalization as of
June 20, 2007 with Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. as the accounting
acquirer.
On
January 14, 2008, a majority of the shareholders of EconoShare, Inc. approved an
amendment to the Registrant’s articles of incorporation to change the name of
the Registrant to Cellceutix Corporation. Upon the filing of a
Definitive Information Statement and effectiveness of the name change the
Company applied to the National Association of Security Dealers to change its
stock symbol on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, resulting in the Company’s
new stock symbol of “CTIX”. The Company is considered a development stage
company at this time.
2. Financial
Statements
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for
the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, (b) the financial
position at September 30, 2008 and (c) cash flows for the three month periods
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, have been made.
The
unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form
10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in
the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The
accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with
the Company’s Form 10KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. The results of
operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.
3. Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. For the period since June 20, 2007 (date of
inception) through September 30, 2008, the Company has had a net loss of
$712,506, no sales and negative working capital of $154,694 at September 30,
2008. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has not emerged from the
development stage. In view of these matters, the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate
additional financing. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities
principally from the use of equity securities to pay for services. The Company
intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital
needs largely from the sale of equity securities, until such time that funds
provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful at achieving its
financing goals at reasonably commercial terms, if at all.
These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the
classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable
to continue as a going concern.
6
4. Commitments
and Contingencies
On April
15, 2008 the Company signed an agreement with a consultant to provide public
relations and strategic communications advice and services for one year
beginning April 28, 2008. The agreement provides for the payment of an annual
fee of $125,000, payable in equal quarterly installments of $31,250, and 100,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition the agreement grants the
consultant incentive compensation which could result in the issuance of up to
350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has amended
the agreement to postpone services from July 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008,
although the quarterly payment will still be made, and extend the contract
through July 28, 2009. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has paid
the two quarterly installment of $62,500 and 100,000 shares in the Company’s
common stock. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the consultant has
resumed providing the services per the contract.
Pharmaceutical
Compounds
On August
2, 2007, the Company was assigned all right, title, and interest to three
pharmaceutical compounds; Kevetrin, KM 277 and KM 278, by their inventors. On
October 17, 2007, the Company was assigned all right, title, and interest to an
additional three pharmaceutical compounds; KM 133 KM 362 and KM 3174. In
exchange for these compounds, the Company agreed to pay the inventors 5% of net
sales of the compounds in countries where composition of matter patents have
been issued and 3% of net sales in other countries. Kevetrin, KM 277, KM 278 and
KM 362 were acquired from our President and director, Dr. Krishna
Menon. The Company intends to file patent applications for each of
these six compounds as funds become available.
The
Company must continue the research and development of these Compounds and has
therefore, assigned no value to these Compounds.
Employment
Agreements
On
December 7, 2007, the Company entered into employment agreements with its two
executive officers, George Evans, Chief Executive Officer, and Krishna Menon,
Chief Scientific Officer. Both agreements provide for a three year term with
minimum annual base salaries of $200,000 in the first year, $300,000 in the
second year and $400,000 in the third year. In addition, the
agreements provide for bonuses according to the following schedule:
Upon
receiving IND: $250,000 if received within 10 months
$150,000
if received within 12 months
$100,000
if received within 16 months
Completion
of Phase 1with clinical results that would have Kevitrin proceed to Phase
2/3:
$450,000
if received within 18 months
$350,000
if received within 24 months
$150,000
if received within 28 months
Start
Phase 2/3:
$500,000
if within 36 months
$350,000
if within 42 months
$150,000
if within 48 months
The bonus
obligations do not commence until the Company receives a financing commitment in
an amount of at least $4,000,000.
The
agreement with Mr. Evans also provides a grant of options to purchase 917,910
shares of the Company's stock with an exercise price of $0.15 per share and fair
value of $43,533. The agreement calls for the issuance options to
purchase up to 1% of the common shares outstanding at each subsequent
anniversary year.
5. Related
Party Transactions
Office
Lease
Dr.
Menon, the Company’s principal shareholder, President, and Director, also serves
as the Chief Operating Officer and Director of Kard Scientific (“KARD”). On
December 7, 2007, the Company began renting office space from KARD, on a month
to month basis for $900 per month.
Clinical
Studies
As of
September 28, 2007 the Company engaged KARD to conduct specified pre-clinical
studies necessary for the Company to prepare an Investigational New Drug
Application (“IND”) submission to the US Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”). The Company does not have an exclusive arrangement with
KARD. All work performed by KARD must have prior approval by the
executive officers of the Company, and we retain all intellectual property
resulting from the services by KARD. Key provisions of the agreement with KARD
include: Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of Kevetrin
using standard protocols and bioavailability of Kevetrin to the body and to
tumor tissue, at a cost of $400,000; Pre-IND meeting at no additional charge;
Toxicity studies as required for an IND filing, at a cost of $1.5
million.
The
agreed terms of payment are 50% of the (above) amounts at the outset of the
study or other service, and the balance at the completion of the study or other
service. To date we have not incurred any services or charges by
KARD.
6. Due
To Officer
As of
September 30, 2008, Leo Ehrlich, CFO loaned the Company $32,310 for the purposes
of operational expenditures. The loan is not interest bearing and is
not collateralized. The Company expects to repay this loan during the 2009
fiscal year.

2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The
following discussion of the Company's financial condition and the results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this document.
The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe
harbor, the Company notes that in addition to the description of historical
facts contained herein, this report contains certain forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties as detailed herein and from time to time in
the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
elsewhere. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and
are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, which could cause actual
results to differ materially from those, described in the forward-looking
statements. These factors include, among others: (a) the Company's fluctuations
in sales and operating results; (b) risks associated with international
operations; (c) regulatory, competitive and contractual risks; (d) product
development risks; (e) the ability to achieve strategic initiatives, including
but not limited to the ability to achieve sales growth across the business
segments through a combination of enhanced sales force, new products, and
customer service; and (f) pending litigation.
Management’s
Plan of Operation
As a
result of the Exchange with Cellceutix Pharma, Inc., we are an early stage
developmental biopharmaceutical company. We have no product sales to date
and we will not receive any product revenue until we receive approval from the
FDA or equivalent foreign regulatory bodies to begin selling our pharmaceutical
candidates. Developing pharmaceutical products, however, is a lengthy and very
expensive process. Assuming we do not encounter any unforeseen safety issues
during the course of developing our product candidates, we do not expect to
complete the development of a product candidate for several years, if
ever.
In August
and October 2007, we acquired exclusive rights to a total of six pharmaceutical
compound candidates that are designed for treatment of diseases which may be
either existing or diseases identified in the future. The Company will
initially spend most of its efforts and resources on its anti-cancer compound,
Kevetrin, for the treatment of head and neck cancers. This compound
is furthest along in in-vivo studies in small animals. Based on the
results, the Company has decided to advance it along the regulatory and clinical
pathway. We anticipate using our expertise to manage and perform what we believe
are the most critical aspects of the product development process which include
the design and oversight of clinical trials, the development and execution of
strategies for the protection and maintenance of intellectual property rights
and the interaction with regulatory authorities internationally. We expect to
concentrate on product development and engage in a very limited way in product
discovery, avoiding the significant investment of time and financial resources
that is generally required before a compound is identified and brought into
clinical trials. In addition, we are currently engaged in pre-clinical testing
of one of our product candidates and intend to out-source clinical trials,
pre-clinical testing and the manufacture of clinical materials to third parties.
We are
now engaged in organizational activities and sourcing compounds and
materials. We have not obtained any funding for our drug development
business plan, nor have we generated any revenues, nor do we not expect to
generate revenues in the near future. We may not be successful in developing our
drugs and start selling our products when planned, or that we will become
profitable in the future. We have incurred net losses in each fiscal period
since inception of our operations.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On May 7,
2008, the Company issued Convertible Debentures, at 9% per annum, for a total
amount of $400,000. The principle and related accrued interest are
due December 2009, and are secured by the Company’s assets. The
Debentures and any accrued and unpaid interest are convertible into the
Company’s common stock, at the holder’s request, at a conversion price of
$1.50.
As of
September 30, 2008 the Company had a cash balance of
$281,213. Although in May 2008, the Company received $400,000 from
the issuance of convertible debentures, the Company will need to raise
substantial funds in order to execute its product development
plan. Based upon our expected rate of expenditures, we
currently do not have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of our anticipated
obligations through our fiscal year end of June 30, 2009. The Company
will seek to raise capital through an offering of our common stock or other
securities of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that we will be
successful in securing the capital we require or that we may obtain financing on
terms that are favorable to us.
Requirement
for Additional Capital
Research
and Development Costs. The Company has not yet engaged in any
research and development activities. We currently do not have funds
to meet our planned drug development for the next twelve months and we may not
be able to obtain the necessary financing. Assuming that we are successful in
raising additional financing, we plan to incur the following expenses over the
next twelve months:
1 Research
and Development of $3,500,000: Includes planned costs for Kevetrin of $3,000,000
for additional in-vivo and in-vitro studies which should result with
the data required to file an investigational new drug application with
the FDA; and $500,000 in preclinical development costs for our other
compounds.
2 Corporate
overhead of $750,000: This amount includes budgeted office salaries, legal,
accounting and other costs expected to be incurred.
3 Capital
costs of $250,000: This is the estimated cost for equipment and laboratory
improvements. The Company plans to incur these costs if the planned trials in
the calendar year of 2008 show improvement over present treatments.
4 Staffing
costs of $500,000: The Company expects to incur these costs for the filing
of an investigational new drug application with the FDA.
This is the estimated cost of hiring additional scientific staff and consulting
firms to assist with FDA compliance, material characterization,
pharmaco-kinetic, pharmaco-dynamic and toxicology studies.
The
Company will be unable to proceed with its planned drug development, meet its
administrative expense requirements, capital costs, or staffing costs without
obtaining additional financing of approximately $5,000,000 to meet its budget.
The Company does not have any arrangements at this time for equity or other
financings other then the financing completed on May 7, 2008. If we
are unable to obtain additional financing, our business plan will be
significantly delayed.
On April
15, 2008 the Company signed an agreement with a consultant to provide public
relations and strategic communications advice and services for one year
beginning April 28, 2008. The agreement provides for the payment of an annual
fee of $125,000, payable in equal quarterly installments of $31,250, and 100,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition the agreement grants the
consultant incentive compensation which could result in the issuance of up to
350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has amended
the agreement to postpone services from July 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008,
although the quarterly payment will still be made, and extend the contract
through July 28, 2009. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has paid
the two quarterly installment of $62,500 and 100,000 shares in the Company’s
common stock.
